Help! I think I’m still a Christian

McMillan’s imagery is reminiscent of Matthew 6:24 — “No one can serve two masters.” But McMillan is referring to more than greed. His lyrics speak to the savagery of contemporary, Western (and by extension, Evangelical) culture, which claims to “hold on to love,” but nonetheless lives by “the law of the jungle.” The song originally came out around the same time I was beginning to take the plunge down the slippery slope of “deconstruction.” But today, it carries a significantly deeper, richer meaning, as I find myself living in my own sort of “Borderland” — the land between my completely reoriented faith and worldview, and the messy, often problematic religious soil that this orientation is still very much rooted in. <a href="https://tylerevancallahan.medium.com/help-i-think-im-still-a-christian-ac64781c1c81">Website</a>
